“Our team has prepared a comprehensive reply to Indian rejoinder, which will be filed on July 17,” Foreign Office Spokesman, Dr Muhammad Faisal said in a press briefing.

Last year on December 13, Pakistan had filed its counter memorial before the ICJ, a world court in The Hague which is looking into the Indian complaint on the conviction of the Indian spy.

FO said that the hearing of the case would start after completion of submissions from Pakistan and India.

On Afghanistan, the spokesman said Pakistan urged upon all factions of Taliban to consider reconciliation and believed that there was no military solution to the issue other than an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led strategy.

He said the report was an indication of the sale of nuclear material in black market in India, which was a matter of grave concern.

About the second death anniversary of Kashmiri leader Burhan Muzaffar Wani marked on July 8, he said the struggle of martyred youth was against the inhumane and treacherous Indian rule in IHK.

He termed Kashmir as the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy and the country maintained the same stance since 1948 to date.

He said Pakistan had been repeatedly demanding recognition of Kashmiris’ just right to self-determination as enshrined in the relevant UNSC resolutions and called for a UN-mandated plebiscite in Jammu Kashmir.

About India’s response on the Office of United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) report on Kashmir, Dr Faisal said India, in its exasperation, was reacting to the report, which vindicated its brutalities and atrocities in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) since decades.

He said Pakistan called upon the international community to take cognizance of the human rights situation in IHK as well as of the OHCHR report, and immediately ask India to stop the bloodshed.
